Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.

Well, there in Ripley was a man named Mr. Rankins, the rest was John, I think. He had a "station" there for escaping slaves. Ohio was a free state, I found out, so once they got across, Mr. Rankins would see to them. We went at night so we could continue back for more and to be sure no slave catchers would follow us there.

Mr. Rankins had a big light about thirty feet high up and it burned all night. It meant freedom for slaves if they could get to that bright flame.

What viewpoint does Mr. Rankins most likely share with the speaker? A. Escaping from slavery requires very little effort or determination.
B. Being part of the Underground Railroad becomes easier with time.
C. Taking personal risks is worthwhile if it helps others gain their freedom.
D. Helping others out of a hard situation often leads to personal reward. HELP ASAP!!!

C.Taking personal risks is worthwhile if it helps others gain their freedom.

Explanation:

The story is informing you that risks are what people are making so that others can live better lives and making it worth more.

Hope this helps! Mark as brainliest pl!! :3

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
